Arena Mexico, 10/02/2011
rudos
Winner: rudos (2-1)
Match Time: 9:17
Rating: good
Notes: Entrances! Seems like the tank top is Mascara Dorada's new default gear. Must be easier to work with. Guerreros enter together. Look at all those empty seats. Ref is Rodolfo.
1: Crowd chants for Volador as he starts with Sombra. Sombra sneaks in an armdrag from the mat, then quick reveals that get us to a standoff. Tags to panther and Guerrero. Fast pasted reversals from them too. UG flips Panther over his back and trips him to the mat, but his armbar is short lived, and Panther manages a standing toe hold. UG picks a leg for his own hold, Panther scissors UG's arm near the ropes, Volador decides to stomp Panther, Sombra rushes over to to get involved, and Volador knocks him clear off the apron. Brawl breaks out from there, rudos getting the best of it. Volador slams Sombra into the post as the Guerreros runs the técnicos into the corners. Dorada tosses into Dragon Rojo's dropkick for one pin. UG submits Blue Panther for the other.
2: Rudos still in control. Sombra takes the flying sit on the outside. Corner whip for Panther, corner clothesline, Dragon Rojo low blow dropkick. Panther sits there, because he thinks the senton is coming, but the rudos pick him up, miss a double clothesline, and Sombra and Dorada are in with springboard headscissors. Panther rushes the other out, his partners out with tope con giros, and Panther hooks UG in the farmer's roll. One and a half times around, one two three. Sombra has a loud cheering section.
Highlights of the second match:
1: Ray looks good at the Amapola, but the rudas get Marcela with a triple submission
2: Mima's hung for a double dropkick, Marcela takes out Mima with a pescado, Dalis and Ray get roll ups for the win.
3: Dalis and Ray get in dives, and Marcela beats Mima.
3: Back to Sombra and Volador. Volador changes his mind and tags out, so we end up with Dragon Rojo and Dorada again. Dorada shoves Rojo, Rojo drops him with one chop. Dorada back up with a hard chest slap. Dragon Rojo back with an elbow. Off the ropes, clothesline misses, Dragon Rojo flapjacked is turned into an armdrag. Volador in, Volador armdrags. Dorada jumps over him and the top rope to roll to ramp, Volador poses, Dorada back with a springboard in armdrag. UG in, and running over Dorada with a big shoulderblock. Whip, clothesline misses, Dorada shoulderblock, Dorada walk up the ropes headscissors, nicely done. Crowd is sis till heavily for the rudos, but the técnicos fans cheer thru on Dorada's fake dive pose. Panther and Dragon Rojo in, though dragon Rojo seems to look for a way out. Kick, Panther has a hard time grabbing Rojo, but pulls him over for a snap mare and goes for the mask. UG break sit up with a kick. Whip, Panther with a spinning armdrag on Dragon Rojo, back with a headscissors on UG, out he goes. Panther teases a dive, but no. Sombra in, and again Volador doesn’t want anything to do with him. Volador tries to talk Dragon Rojo into going in. It takes some work, but Dragon Rojo is a sucker. Sombra off the ropes, over, waved by, back with a flip over backdrop, off the ropes, back with a back spin headscissors. Dragon Rojo out, other two in, clothesline misses, UG kicks gets Volador. Sombra goes over UG's back for headscissors, Sombra hides in the ropes, Volador dropkicks him clear thru. Volador runs, UG helps him to the top rope, Asia moonsault from there. Other four in, rudo neutralize técnicos - Dorada springboard dropkick meets the anti air dropkick, and pulpo Guerrero finishes Panther. Volador back in time to celebrate.
Match 2: Mr. Niebla vs Atlantis
Arena Mexico, 10/02/2011
Niebla middle rope senton (1:43)
Winner: Mr. Niebla
Match Time: 12:57
Rating: ok
Notes: Atlantis watches the entrance to spot Niebla coming, so of course Niebla's come thru the crowd with the orange barrel. Ref is Pompin, who pretends not to notice, but still moves out of the way. Barrel tot he back, and to the head. Zacarias runs down from the normal entrance.
1: Niebla takes a moment to remove his own vest and point to the crowd. Snap mare, and ripping at the mask. Niebla kicks around Atlantis in between removing his gloves (which Zacarias helpfully retrieves.) Niebla take out inside – slaps, and head into the announce desk. Back in. Niebla throws Atlantis in, poses before coming in, and kicks Atlantis down. Slam, middle rope senton one two three.
Highlights of the Fourth match
4-1: Angel de Oro dive, Warrior and Fantasma finish with cradles
4-2: Felino flying elbow drops on Fantasma, Pólvora inverted powerslam on Angel de Oro
4-3: Angel de Oro rana on Felino, técnicos try to help hold, Negro and Pólvora rolls them up and Felino reverses the cradle for a triple rudo win. Fantasma complain he had a foot touching the ropes, which does appear to be (accidentally) true, but gets kicked by Negro.
2: Niebla sets Atlantis on the top rope, and works on his mask. Niebla prefers ripping it off Atlantis' face rather than just untying it. Choke on the ropes. Niebla stirs the Niebla chants. Kneeling facelock doesn’t get Niebla far, so he bites Atlantis's forehead thru the hole he's ripped. Shots to the face. Niebla roars at the crowd. Whip, reversed, Niebla back into an Atlantis quebrada con giro. Atlantis firing off punches. Turnbuckle smash, Niebla in face first. Clothesline. Whip, quebradora con giro, casadora cradle one two three. A lot of (girlish) cheering, a lot of boos.
3: Whip, spinebuster by Atlantis. Very loud, mixed reaction. Knee drop to the head. Atlantis grabs Niebla by the mask and yells at the crowd. Referee trying to warn Atlantis about pulling on the mask, but Atlantis is too busy pointing at the people. Knee drop to the head. Corner whip, Atlantis charges in, no one home, Niebla slaps Atlantis down. Niebla waits no time in ripping up Atlantis' mask more, but Atlantis snap mares him down and rips up Atlantis' mask too. Pompin and Atlantis argue, which gives Niebla time to fix his mask. Chest slaps fight, Atlantis ducks, gets Niebla in the chest, repeat. Niebla clothesline Atlantis twice, and decides it's time to dance. Spit is – not really caught, except maybe lands on Niebla's chest. Atlantis up and dropkicking Niebla out. Atlantis running – tope sends Niebla into the front row. Atlantis in, Niebla yells at the people before getting in – turnbuckle smash, no, Niebla blocks and smashes Atlantis. Niebla slaps Atlantis away, top up top, plancha, Atlantis rolls thru one two NO. Niebla starts his own Niebla chant. Both up, Atlantis slowly tripped, rolled over to his back, Niebla stands him up again and slowly moves to the ropes, reverse roll up with bridge, both shoulders down one two both shoulders up, and Niebla kicks the referee in kicking out. Atlantis points to the fans, and Niebla grabs him in casita one two NO. Niebla scoop, slam. Going up? Top rope moonsault – comes up empty. Niebla hurting, Atlantis rushing on top one two NO. Both slow up. Niebla whip, spinebuster, Niebla set up -no, Atlantis cradle one two NO. Atlantis 'rana one two NO. Atlantis casadora cradle, one two NO. These are quicker near falls than usual in this match. Niebla grabs his head, stumbles around, and falls backwards out of the ring! Atlantis up top, plancha connects. Replay. Atlantis back in. Niebla on the apron, Atlantis punches him, Niebla fires back with headbutts. Niebla up top again, but stumbles and crotches himself. Superplex! One two thr-NO. Crowd though that was it. Both waving for support. Niebla charges, Atlantis lifts him up into Atlantida but doesn’t have him secure, Niebla's leg pokes Pompin (barley, and he takes a way too big bump), Niebla slips free, low blow kick, one two three.
Replays include the announcers mocking Pompin's bump from multiple angles. Every single one looks worse than the last.
